A Recent Case Concerning the Freedom of the Press
A recent case happened on August 3, 2008 when a National Press Club protests jailing a New York Times Reporter, Barry Bearak who was covering the presidential election in Zimbabwe. "The National Press Club is outraged that police in Zimbabwe have detained these journalists,"said Sylvia Smith who is the Club's president. Smith has also said that "Bearak was doing his job covering the elections in that country. It is unacceptable [that] he was imprisoned for that." Bearak who is 58 and won the Pulitzer Prize in 2002, as well as four other journalists were arrest at a guest house in Harare, Zimbabwe. Mugabe forces raided the party offices and detained the journalists last week. According the news reports, Bearak as well as another reporter might have been charged with practicing journalism without accreditation. Smith said that "The detention has the appearance of a retribution for his [(Bearak)] coverage. By jailing these reporters without cause, the government of Zimbabwe is sending a message to the world that it opposes basic press freedoms."
A movie involving the Pentagon Papers case that later led to the resignation of President Nixon was released in 2002.
